IMPROVEMENT YINBROILERS.

. The Schedule referred to in these Letters Phtent and making part ofthe same.

To all whom it may concern.- v

Be it known that we, Lnvr H. OOLBORNE and DAVID H. LOWE, of New Yorkcity, intlie county and State of NewYork, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Reversible Broilerrand we do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and

exact description thereof, whichwill enable others skilled in the art tomake and use the' same, reference being had to the accompanying drawingforming part of this specification, in whichl Figure-1"- is a detailview of the upper or reversible parts of our improved broiler opened up.

Figure 2 is atop view of the lower part of the broiler.

Figure 3 is a detail sectional view of the broiler closed up, or inposition for use, taken through the linex-x, figs. 1 and 2. Y v

Figure 4 is a detail sectional view of the same,

taken through the line'y-y, fig. 3. 1 Similar letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts. Our invention has for its object tofurnish an improved broiler, which shall be so constructed as to catchand preserve the gravy, and allow the substance being broiled to bereversed or turned without tomoving the broiler or allowing the gravy torun into the fire, and which shall, at the same time, be simple inconstruction and convenient in use;. and

It consists in the construction and combination 'of the various parts ofthe broiler with each .other, a hereinafter more fully described.

A is the lower part of the broiler, which is'made with anupwardly-projecting flange around its inner and outer. edge, thusforming a wide groove 'orchannel, a, all around'the'said part A.

The part A is designed 'to be set upon the top of the stove or rangeupon which the broiler is .to be used, and is provided with a handle,(0?,11'01 convenience in handling it.

Upon one side of the piece or part A is formed a lip or spout, a, forconvenience in. pouring out the I 'gravy from the channel a-.

Upon, the outer edge of the piece A is formed a lug, at, having a holein it to receive the pivot. by

.which the other parts are pivoted to it.

B and O are the two upper or reversible parts of the broiler, andbetween which the steak or other article to be broiled is placed.

The body of each of the pieces B O'consists of a ring or rim, withparallel cross-bars, the faces of said ring or rims and cross-bars beinggrooved or channelcd to receive the gravy from the steak or otherarticle.

The cross-bars of the said pieces may be arranged opposite to eachother, or in such a way as to alternate with each other, as may bedesired.

The latter arrangement we prefer, as it allows one side of all the partsof the article to be broiled tobc directly exposed to the fire. I

Upon oncside or edge of the pieces or parts B G are formed handles, b c,and upon their edges, directly opposite to the handles 1) c, are formedlugs, I) c", by means of which the said pieces are pivoted or hinged toeach other. J

The logs I) c are bent or curved toward each other, as shown infigs, 3and 4, so that when the said pieces B O arc'closed, a space may be leftfor the steak or other article to be broiled.

' The lugs'b e have holes formed through them, to receive the pin orrivet by which the said parts or pieces B O are pivoted or hinged toeach other.

The said pin or rivet also passes through the eye *of thc'pivot D, whichfits into the hole formed in the lug wof the piece A, as shown in fig.3.

In the outer edge or flange of the channeled rings of the pieccsB O isformed one or more grooves, b c, as shown in fig. 1.

The shape of the parts A B 0 must depend upon the form of the Opening inthe top of the stove over which the broiling is to be done.

\Vhen using the broiler the part or piece A is placed upon thetopof thestove or range.

The parts or pieces B O are then closed upon each other with the articleto be broiled between'them, and the pivot D is inserted in the hole inthe log a of the part A.

1), and lowered in areversed posit-ion upon the part A, exposing theother side of the article being broiled to the fire. This process may berepeated as many times as desired.

With this broiler the broiling may be quickly andthoroughly done, andthe gravy preserved, the part A resting upon the top of the stove orrange, and thus not being exposed to the direct action of the fire keepsthe gravy from being scorched or burned.

Having thus described our invention,

\Vhatwc claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The part A, made with a groove or channel. a.
